Thanks for the info. I ended up going with the supertarp and annex should be at my house tomorrow.

Fault is not with the shelter.

There was a Megatarp and annex for sale not long ago on Kifaru Insiders FB page if you are looking for more room than the supertarp. Good looking setup!

I like some of the VO stuff, havent looked much at their shelters though. I should give them a look. Currently using a SO 6 man.

If their shelters are anything like their quilts they are awesome. I got a 0 degree quilt and it works amazing and the workmanship is second to none.

Ive heard great things about their sleep systems. I am currently using Kifaru slick bag, quilt, and woobie. So I havent really felt a need to switch it up as im digging all things Kifaru.

Guess I could look it up, but what’s the weight? I tried going floorless but the dust and dirt out here in AZ/NM was a bit much, especially on electronics after 1-2 weeks in the backcountry.

My 20 year old Kifaru Para-Tipi is still in use.

The places we've been and seen!

If snow and cold is expected, it and the small wood burner is coming with me.
